Equipment

Ingredients

2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/4 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F degrees. Coat an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick spray and set it aside.
In medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs until thick, about 5 minutes.
Add the sugar and beat until creamy and well blended.
Stir in the flour and butter and vanilla just until blended.
Stir in the cranberries and walnuts.
Scrape the batter into the prepared pan and spread it out evenly.
Bake until set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 40 to 50 minutes.
Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool completely.
Cut into 16 bars.
